Mission to Amish People was founded by Joe and Esther Keim who grew up in an Amish community near Ashland, OH. Since February 6, 2000, the ministry has expanded to about 25 staff members and 50 volunteers.
In 2017, Mission to Amish People opened New Beginnings Homestead and Beyond Measure Market as a way to come alongside Amish women who are leaving their culture and need help transitioning to English society.
